Today’s Totally Random Line(s)
Hold,
for your lives!
-Othello
Othello Act II, Scene iii, Line 159
Today is Superbowl Sunday. So, perhaps
this is an appropriate line? In Othello’s world hold means stop, he's trying to stop a drunken brawl. In the Superbowl
world it might mean hold onto the lead,
or perhaps hold on to that ball and don’t
drop it. Yeah, a little different. But then, Shakespeare is just a little
different from the Superbowl. Though, if you think about it, they both could involve drunken brawls.
Anyway, when you pass that guacamole dip today to someone on the couch, you can say, Hold, for your life! Don’t drop that dip! Unless of course you want to use the phrase with a more Shakespearean meainng, in which case you can wait until you get sick of Uncle Bud ranting about how great Patrick Mahomes is. Then, if it was me I'd say, Hold, for your life, Uncle Bud! Enough already!
